The diffusive flux model assumes that the particles migrate via a diffusive flux induced by gradients in both the particle concentration and the effective suspension viscosity. The suspension balance model introduces non-Newtonian bulk stress with shear-induced normal stresses, the gradients of which cause particle migration. Both models have appeared in the literature of particle-laden flow with virtually no comparison between the two models. For particle-laden viscous flow on an incline, in a thin-film geometry, one can use lubrication theory to derive a compact dynamic model in the form of a 2 × 2 system of conservation laws. We can then directly compare the two theories side by side by looking at similarities and differences in the flux functions for the conservation laws, and in exact and numerical simulations of the equations. We compare the flux profiles over a range of parameters, showing fairly good agreement between the models, with the biggest difference involving the behavior at the free surface. We also consider less dense suspensions at lower inclination angles where the dynamics involve two shock waves that can be clearly measured in experiments. In this context the solutions differ by no more than about 10%, suggesting that either model could be used for this configuration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55497,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics Letters","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 109480"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143377632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
